Construction:

All that's required t' assemble a G12 fiberglass rocket is t' make sure you give a good sandin' t' any parts gettin' epoxy. T' Shape Shifter build is pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory.


Finishing:

Finishin' is up t' t' individual, T' G12 finishes very nicely though. A light sanding, a good coat o' primer, shiver me timbers, then finish in whatever color you choose. Aye aye! Blimey! Mine is done in black gloss with Alien Green Vinyl stickers from Stickershock.


Summary:

Bang-for-your-buck, ya bilge rat, me bucko, you can't beat a Wildman kit. Aye aye! T' Shape Shifter is a great kit for your L1 or L2 if you have t' field for it, ya bilge rat, me bucko, arrr, With its sharp looks, t' Shape Shifter is sure t' be a crowd pleaser.
